Our Program
|
|
National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve America's public lands. NPLD began in 1994 with three federal agencies and 700 volunteers. On Sept. 26, 2009, 150,000 volunteers lent a hand at more than 2,000 locations across the nation. Join us for the next National Public Lands Day on Sept. 25, 2010. National Public Lands Day is now part of a broader Public Lands Program which aims to increase the capacity of public lands stewards to engage local communities to help care for our public lands. The Public Lands Program will provide online training resources, networking opportunities and small grants to increase the capacity of friends groups to work more effectively with public land managers and strengthen the reach of National Public Lands Day. |
